Because of the fire in the grassland, Yelu Chongyuan retreated to Fengzhou. The Song army chased and captured a lot of them. Almost all the supplies of the Khitan army were in the hands of the Song army. Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang chased Yelu Ren first into Fengzhou, then turned around and fought against Yelu Chongyuan, killing and capturing nearly 10,000 people. In this battle, the Khitan lost nearly 30,000 people in total, and it was completely defeated.

The Khitan army retreated to Fengzhou, and the Song army withdrew, and still guarded the Yunneizhou defense line, without intending to advance to Fengzhou.

After fighting here, there would be no meaning. Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Ren were transferred back to the court first, and punished him with fine punishment, and instead guarded Fengzhou with Xiao Guanzhi and Liu Liufu. As soon as the two arrived in Fengzhou, they sent envoys to Yunneizhou to demand peace talks.

The plan of war was not something that Xu Ping could do along the border guards, so he could only write to the court, and the area returned to peace.

In the old city of Yunneizhou, Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Ke were blushed and rode towards the Protectorate. When they negotiated peace with the Khitan, their mission ended, and it was time to settle accounts and receive money. Yeli Wangrong led many soldiers, and this time he won far more than Cheng Ke, but Cheng Ke won the fortune for wealth. This time he picked up a Xiao Hujiu. With the previous record against Xiao Puda and Zhang Fonu, the rewards that their troops should receive were almost the same. After receiving the money, it was enough for them to spend their entire lives.

When he arrived at the Protectorate Mansion, Tan Hu took him into the official hall and performed the ceremony as if he was a ritual.

Let the two sit down, Xu Ping said: "This great victory depends entirely on the lives of the two kings. The court will reward you for any contribution. Apart from the reward, you have anything else to do together. As long as you can do it, the court will not refuse."

Cheng Keshang said: "I have chosen a house in Lingzhou. I just waited for the armor to be a rich man. But I grew up on horseback and lived in the city. At that time, I was afraid of being uncomfortable. To the east of Lingzhou is a mountain pasture, and I want to buy hundreds of acres of land to make a pasture, so I can live there for a few days when I am free. However, the Xingling Road Supervision Department is not allowed to buy and sell land privately, and it is even more difficult to deal with. If I have time, I will say something to Wu Jingluo, and it will be convenient."

After saying that, Cheng Ke ordered his followers to take the iron armor that was taken off Xiao Huji and presented it to Xu Ping: "This iron armor was obtained from the Khitan prince-in-law Xiao Huji. It is very exquisite. The Protector commanded the army for many years and did not have the appropriate armor, so he transferred it to the Protector."

Xu Ping ordered Tan Hu to take it and said, "After this war, it is not known whether I will be in charge of the army or not. It is useless to keep the iron armor. It is rare that you have a lot of heart. Next, if you continue to charge the army, I will use it myself. If you don't, I will give it to General Tan Hu. He has been with me for many years and has always been loyal and made countless contributions. It will be unlucky to give it to him."

Cheng Keshang crossed his hands: "It is good to deal with the protection of the lord. General Tan should be equipped with such a good armor!"

Xu Ping nodded and said to Cheng Keshang: "The General Secretary is not allowed to buy and sell land privately, nor to establish a farm and occupy land privately. It is just a temporary solution. When the various places are stable, everything will be as follows in the mainland. It is not a big deal for you to be in a ranch, so I just want to say it to Wu Jingluo. But I have something to say first, and no one is allowed to travel to Xingling Road in the future. It is all for herds. The pasture is like a village. Another person who is not allowed to use his own tribe as a servant, and needs to be used by others. Please hire people from the local area. Remember, don't make any mistakes!"

Cheng Keshang agreed with his hands and thanked Xu Ping. There was nothing to be embarrassed to say. For Cheng Keshang, the court had necessary precautions for these surrendered generals. Xu Ping always said that they did not say it out loud, and they made small plans in their minds and were not good to the court in the future. The surrendered generals were suspected, and there were many people in history with a miserable ending. It was said that Cheng Keshang was separated from his tribe members. Although it was a bit unkind, it was actually for his own good. After so many days, Cheng Keshang and Yeli Wangrong had figured it out.

Xu Ping asked Yeli Wangrong again: "King Yeli, I wonder if there is anything I need to help me?"

Yeli Wangrong hesitated for a while, and said, "I am not hiding the Protector. I am in my prime. From now on, I will be a rich man without caring about state affairs. I hope the court will understand and plan a dispatcher to avoid wasting my time. I know that the court's system will definitely prevent people from such a background. This is human nature. But if you are to be careful, there will always be a suitable dispatch, right?"

"Yes, of course there!" Xu Ping couldn't help laughing, "Your King Yeli can understand and understand that the court must do what you have to do to prevent you from governing and commanding the army, and everything is fine. In fact, don't talk about you, officials in the court, which one should avoid suspicion? This is a customization of the court, not for any of you. As an official in the court, everyone should avoid suspicion. King Yeli is willing to come out to do things, so it is naturally good. How could the court refuse? As long as you follow the rules of the court and follow the rules, there is nothing wrong with it. For specific duties, I will submit a memorial to the court's edict."

Yeli Wangrong didn't expect Xu Ping to agree quickly and thanked him quickly. It was impossible for him to come out to be an official and continue to take charge of the military and political affairs of Dangxiang. He would probably not be in Xingling and Yinxia anymore, but to be an official in different places like other officials. Yeli Wangrong was very clear about this and could accept it. As long as he was in his original territory and brought his old subordinates, the court would not be relieved. This is the root cause of the trouble. Yeli Wangrong had figured it out, and Xu Ping never used false promises to win over them. He had long said that after the war, all the military and political organizations of Dangxiang would be completely dismantled. Whoever could not let go of his original status and power would have no good ending. This is the basic principle, whoever touched him would die.

After saying this, Xu Ping said again: "The Khitan has sent people to discuss peace talks. I have written a letter. The court will send people to preside over it. This is not something that can be completed in a short time, but it will be delayed for a few months. During these days, the two kings will settle your rewards with the officials sent by the Protectorate and the court. It is natural to receive money according to military merits, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Moreover, this is not just the money of you two, but the money of your subordinates' tens of thousands of soldiers. You must settle it clearly and don't let the soldiers feel sad."

Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang said together: "Thank you, everyone, understand, we will be attentive!"

"Okay, the money is settled clearly, and the soldiers have an explanation for their hard work. In addition to the settlement of the reward, there is another thing to bother you. If the war is gone, where are the tens of thousands of people going? I will give them a home. Everyone chooses it themselves. I will not force them to do what they want, as long as they do not violate the laws of the court, and follow their wishes. When distributing the reward, remember to consider the future of the soldiers, and not just seek a moment of happiness. Therefore, I will not discover the money, but store the reward in the bank and divide it into five or ten years to collect it. For so many years, I should have the task of supporting my family."
